Autumn is an opportune time to review your skincare routine.
With summer coming to an end, you may be dealing with dehydrated skin, some
level of pigmentation and uneven skin texture as a result of sun exposure and
excess sebum. In the run-up to the colder weather, one should aim to deep
cleanse or renew skin, making it perfectly ready for heavier formulations to
address dry, dehydrated skin concerns.

Most people think
they should be limiting exfoliation during colder weather, but an increase in
dryness causes an increase in potential dead skin cells that can make skin look
lifeless and dull. While some may choose to continue with a physical
exfoliator (such as Skin Doctors Exfoliating Crystals), a chemical
exfoliant can help smooth skin while also providing skincare benefits.

Some people may choose to include a daily toner (with glycolic acid for
example) while some may choose a more active serum or cream-based treatment. Skin Doctors Gamma Hydroxy contains a perfectly balanced combination of
glycolic, salicylic and lactic acid that helps to renew and reset you skin for
the coming changes.

In order to maintain brightness and clarity, active day
serums and products are still very important. Vitamin C can help tackle
all traces of sun overindulgence (see Skin Doctors Potent Vit. C ampoules)
while a light occlusive moisturiser like Skin Doctors Skinactive14 Day Cream can help address other issues such as dehydration and barrier protection.
